Stalking Sebald

The last entry in this little book, which is among those few of the minister’s possessions to have passed into my hands after his death and through which I have often glanced recently, said Austerlitz, was made on one of the additional leaves inserted at the end and is dated 7 March 1952. It runs: Bala Chapel – Psalms CII, 6, ‘I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.’
